Gajim is a Jabber/XMPP client which uses GTK+.

Gajim unconditionally implements the “XEP-0146: Remote Controlling Clients” extension.

Remote attackers, by enticing a user to connect to a malicious XMPP server, could extract plaintext from Off The Record (OTR) encrypted sessions.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Gajim users should upgrade to the latest version:
